Welcome to Saxon Fencing Club
We are a local and friendly club in Acton, West London.
Saxon is proud to be one of London’s oldest fencing clubs (62 years and counting), welcoming beginners, intermediates and experienced fencers (both adults and children) of all three weapons (foil, epée and sabre). We are open on Thursday evenings from 7 – 10pm.
We’re open throughout the year, including summer and winter months. Guest fencers are welcome (fees apply).
We run regular beginner’s classes. We also run junior classes for 8-14 years old, beginners and improvers based on the school terms. For more information go to the Beginners and Juniors page and sign up for the next course by filling in the form on the right of the page.
Fencing is a mixed sport, being a good way to meet a wide range of new people, and a great work out for the whole body. We have several fencers attending a large number of competitions and make the most of it for club socials. We do our best to make sure everybody feels welcome at the club.
No fencing 19th September!
Due to the school using the sports hall, the club will be closed on the 19th September.
We’ll be back on the 26th at the usual times.

HS2 Grant Success
The club is delighted to announce that our project to renew our club’s equipment has received a £6985 grant from HS2’s Community Environment Fund (CEF).
The CEF fund has been created by HS2 to add benefit to communities along the route disrupted by the construction of HS2.

Particular thanks to the committee for doing the hard work in the grant application.
